• Embattled Delegate Faces Consequences of Rant On Abortion Embattled Delegate Faces Consequences of Rant On Abortion

DEL. BOB Marshall looked haggard and bewildered as he searched his cluttered desk Wednesday for a way to explain and soften the hurtful words he had spoken a few days earlier. The Bible regards barrenness as a curse, not children," he muttered as he leafed through the Encyclopedia of Judaism, then reached for a medical journal. "I should have used the term 'physical complications.'

A fiery socialist in her early days, Sanger saw the gruesome consequences of unsafe abortion while working as a nurse in New York's immigrant slums and, in defiance of federal law, called for access to birth control. Though genuinely motivated by a passion for women's liberation, Sanger also embraced eugenics, a more respectable cause at the time than sexual freedom or feminist self-determination; indeed, after World War I, as Sanger's biographer Ellen Chesler has written, "eugenics became a popular craze in this country- promoted in newspapers and magazines as a kind of secular religion.

Candidates in three of the most competitive and closely watched 2011 state Senate races in Northern Virginia squared off Sunday, distinguishing themselves on such key issues as taxes, abortion and the potential consequences of Republicans taking full control of state government after November's elections. I am very concerned about the Republican agenda and the desire of some of the Republican leadership to erode a woman's right to choose," said Barbara Favola, the Democratic candidate in the 31st District race.

• China's One-Child Disaster

The one-child policy has stirred worldwide controversy both for its violation of civil rights (including the forced abortion of "extra" children) and for its unintended consequences (for example, a preference for sons has created a sex ratio of almost 120 boys to every 100 girls born).

• Abortion and Psychology

The Supreme Court's recent decision banning partial-birth abortion has renewed public interest in abortion politics and policy. Despite the infrequency of late-term abortions, the ban is significant because it strikes at one rationale for the general availability of abortion: the potential negative mental-health consequences for women who carry a child to term. Many late-terms abortions are performed for such reasons. For instance, in 1999, mental-health concerns were cited by the abortion provider in all 182 partial-birth procedures in Kansas. Thus, both pro-choice and pro-life camps are gearing up for more debate over the mental-health consequences of abortion. In a fight, political or otherwise, it is good to have influential allies. In the abortion debate, pro-choice advocates histo...

• Planned Parenthood, Venereal Disease Link

Thank you for publishing "Nation's largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood" (Commentary, April 19). Even if one does not regard elective abortion the way I do as both the wanton destruction of a human life and an assault on basic constitutional protections, elective abortion has serious epidemiological consequences. In a statistical study ignored by many major newspapers, professors Jonathan Klick and Thomas Stratmann established a "causal" statistical link between legalized abortion and the rates of contracting gonorrhea and syphilis. Their June 2003 paper, "The Effect of Abortion Legalization on Sexual Behavior: Evidence from Sexually Transmitted Diseases," uses data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and appears in "The Journal of Legal Studies," publishe...
